cjwatsonhmm00:02
cjwatsonthat source file exists on disk with a newer change time; I don't understand this but I suppose it's possible that a respin will in fact fix it00:04
cjwatsontrue of all the missing files (there are three; libwv-1.2-3, screensaver-default-images, tango-icon-theme-common)00:06
cjwatsonmaybe more fallout from the new syncproxy or something00:06
cjwatsonubuntu-server preinstalled is currently building so I'm hesitant to respin; at this point I think it might be best left to tomorrow morning's cron job00:07

gadorSince I used the next debian version as a basis, should the fix still be merged in the main branch?05:27
didrocksgador: the beta freeze is this evening, 21 UTC, so you still have time today  :)05:29
didrocksgador: do you know if the new version is introducing features?05:29
didrocksor bug fixes only05:30
* micahg was hoping a release team member would answer, but there are major changes to the debian/rules files which from recent requests by the release team would require an FFe w/build logs just to verify the sanity of the changes05:31
gadordidrocks, I don't think so. At lease nothing is stated in the changelog05:31
gadorNo new features, I mean05:31
gadorBut I can only propose a merge (Which I did). So if you think what I did is ok, could you merge the branch?05:32
didrocksmicahg: the rules change are pretty easy05:33
didrocksyeah, it's only a new bug fix in debian05:33
didrocksgador: I guess if you can get it sponsored by the patch pilot today, it should be fine :)05:33
gadordidrocks, patch pilot?05:34
didrocksgador: a sponsor to push it to ubuntu (not sure to have the time to do a lenghty review)05:34
ScottKIf you redid the build system, please ask for an FFe.05:35
didrocksScottK: it would be a sync from debian which did the change from debhelper5 to debhelper 7 (the new one is mostly the debhelper 7 boiler plate)05:36
gadordidrocks, and how would I get a sponsor to look at it today? The only thing I did until now with other bug fixes was to propose the merge and someone looked at it at some point in time.05:36
ScottKdidrocks: Still want an FFe and a debdiff.05:36
didrocksgador: so you have to file the FFe for ScottK (if it isn't acked, it will stay in the FTBFS state) and try to ping the patch pilot on #ubuntu-devel or wait for him to have a look (the patch pilot is a sponsoring programm where everyone try to take some time for doing those kinds of review)05:39
* micahg will try to pilot before the freeze05:40
ScottKThis isn't really a "will it get in" FFe, but a "we want an extra level of review" FFe.05:40
gadormicahg, thanks :-)05:40
micahggador: you still need to get the FFe though05:41
* micahg still has his own FFes to file05:42
gadormicahg, so I only need to file a new "bug" in launchpad with the necessary information?05:43
micahggador: and subscribe ubuntu-release05:43
micahggador: also update the merge proposal to close that bug05:43
gadormicahg, what exactly do you mean?05:44
micahggador: let05:45
gadormicahg, I added the LP : bug# in the changelog, so it should close the bug when the branch get merged05:45
micahggador: yep05:45
gadormicahg, ok, I will file the bug from work (I need to get going now) Thanks for the help!05:46
micahggador: thanks for the fix05:47

ogra_no build logs either :(09:32

ogra_thats what is in /etc/default_arches10:03
ogra_err s/_/-/10:03
cjwatsonNo, they don't add that way.10:03
ogra_do i need to drop the dash from oneiric in the first line ?10:04
ogra_hmm, at the top the file says i should put more specific matches first, i thougth thats what it means10:04
cjwatsonIt picks *one* line and uses the entries from that.10:04
ogra_hmm, tricky10:04
cjwatsonIf they added the way you suggest then it would be hard to drop architectures.10:04
ogra_so i need separae lines for sever core and desktop then10:05
ogra_*separate10:05
cjwatsonBe specific10:05
ogra_yes10:05
cjwatsonNo, be specific about what you mean by what you just said10:05
ogra_oh, well, we used to have just the second line and i usually just add to it, but that will build all possible preinstalled flavours10:06
ogra_for ac100 and mx5 i only want desktop10:06
ogra_and indeed only for oneiric10:06
ogra_that made me create the top line10:06
cjwatsonThen you don't need separate lines.  'ubuntu daily-preinstalled oneiric- armel+ac100 armel+mx5 armel+omap armel+omap4' will do it.10:06
cjwatsonOther flavours will fall back to the less specific match '* daily-preinstalled maverick- armel+omap armel+omap4'10:07
ogra_but then the cronjob builds server too10:07
ogra_which i'l like to avoid on ac100 and mx510:07
cjwatsondefault-arches does not govern which cron jobs are run10:07
cjwatsonHow about you enumerate every single image you want built and I will do the right thing10:08
ogra_no, but it will return ac100 and mx5 as allowed arches for it10:08
cjwatsonNo it won't10:08
cjwatsonubuntu-server != ubuntu10:08
cjwatsonthe 'ubuntu' project in cdimage is just desktop/alternate10:08
* ogra_ is referring to the original line that has just a * in the beginning10:08
cjwatsonWhich doesn't list ac100 and mx510:09
ogra_that got me all flavours for all possible preinstalled arches in the past10:09
ogra_(when i added the two new arches)10:09

cjwatsonogra_: There's no need; desktop is the one that's out of the ordinary, and everything else can use a default10:17

cjwatsonLong descriptions should move to Translations-en after the next publisher run10:19
cjwatsonWith any luck10:20
mvonice, thats going to be interessting :)10:20
cjwatson'apt-get clean' - what does that do to startup times?  doesn't that mean that every time you ask it to remove cruft from /var/cache/apt/archives/, it then has to build its package list caches from scratch?10:21
cjwatsonand for 'apt-get update', I thought it rebuilt the caches anyway?10:21
cjwatsonI assume we're talking about /var/cache/apt/{pkgcache,srcpkgcache}.bin here?10:21
cjwatsonI'm OK with the rest of it, although slightly nervous about the resolver change and curious what testing's been done on that10:23
mvoit sill slightly increase the startuptime on the first run after apt-get clean, but the cache is rebuild automatically so that should not be a huge issue10:24
mvobut yeah, the apt-get update one I'm not sure about, given that apt will rebuild the cache anyway automatically after the update10:24
infinityIt really won't.10:25
infinityNot until this change.10:25
infinityTrust me, I banged my head on that wall for two days a month or two ago.10:25
mvothe resolver one is currently doing a test run in a VM for natty -> oneiric10:25
mvoinfinity: hm, it should unless there are i-m-s only hits10:26
infinityIf the update gave you a new Packages file, it will rebuild, but if you did something like, say, change the order of sources.list, the binary cache stays intact, and is now "backwards".10:26
infinityAt which point, I bug you about bugs that don't exist.10:26
infinityRemember? :P10:26
mvoinfinity: iirc I fixed this one (sources.list timestamp check)10:27
infinityOh, true.  You did fix that one case.10:27
infinityDid you also check preferences?  And .d?  And..? :)10:27
mvobut I agree, there may be more cases and rebuilding is not that expensive (comapred to the download work it needs to do)10:27
infinityI dunno.  Making update take more time sucks a bit on slow machines, but...10:28
mvoit does check .d, not sure about preferences …10:28
infinityI'm less convinced about deleting the caches on clean, TBH.10:29
infinityI expect "update" to do work.10:29
infinityI expect clean to just wipe out archives.10:29
infinityBut meh.10:29
mvook, this all sounds controversial enough to just leave it out for oneiric10:30
mvothanks for the feedback!10:30
infinityI dunno.  The resolver change, if it does what I think it does, sounds worth it, if it passes some solid testing.10:31
infinity(Though any resolver change is scary)10:31
mvotrue, but the auto-upgrade-tester makes it at least easier to test common scenarios10:31
mvoI will just cherry pick instead of taking the full merge10:32
infinityUpgrades are getting more and more painful, and multiarch just made that a ton worse.  I suspect that resolver change (again, if I'm reading the intent correctly there) will actually help a lot.10:32

cyphermoxhold on, trying to get upstream to review it nao19:34
Davieycyphermox: oh cool, if it's in upstream - makes it less daunting.19:35
stgraberif that counts at all, I did look at it :) cyphermox did the implementation based on discussions we had with upstream19:35
cyphermoxwell, it's not in upstream now, but the lead dev can chime in :)19:35
stgraberthe actual implementation is what we agreed with Dan (upstream for NM) on the mailing-list19:35
stgrabermost of the code is to generate the DUID itself and escape it, the changes in the existing code are relatively limited (update existing broken lease files and call the generation code).19:36
stgraberthe change only applies to dhcpv6 which isn't too common yet and I can confirm that the DUID is indeed valid (as in, my home dhcpv6 server is happy with it) and constant (was the goal of the change)19:37

slangasekstgraber: for bug #575469, is there an implementation of the initramfs-tools approach ready for review?19:51
ubot4Launchpad bug 575469 in newt (Ubuntu Oneiric) (and 3 other projects) "[UIFe] [FFe] recovery mode mounts filesystems read-write rather than read-only (affects: 2) (heat: 16)" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/57546919:51
stgraberslangasek: yeah, that was my initial implementation. I'd use it with Colin's suggested changes19:52
slangasekstgraber: so this would use all the same boot arguments for grub, but implement it by interposing recovery-menu before upstart?  and could still reasonably support running mountall by hand with --no-events?19:54
stgraberI'd have the grub debdiff updated to set "startup-event=recovery" instead of "recovery". the initramfs-tools change will send that as --startup-event=recovery to upstart19:55
stgraberupstart will then emit "recovery" instead of "startup"19:55
stgraberfriendly-recovery will be "start on recovery"19:55
stgraberthe mountall call in friendly-recovery will run with --no-events to avoid starting everything19:56
stgraberand the post-start script of friendly-recovery will do a "initctl emit startup" to trigger the usual boot sequence on resume19:56
slangasekI'd rather we still had 'recovery' as the boot argument19:57
slangasekstartup-event=recovery is excessively verbose for something users may be trying to edit / input at boot time19:57
stgraberok, I can make the initramfs-tools change look for "recovery" and set --startup-event=recovery on the init command line then19:58
slangasekand that way the naming isn't tied to the specific implementation19:58
slangasekyep, I think that would be best19:58
slangaseknow, if friendly-recovery isn't installed at all, this means the boot will hang?19:58
slangaseksince upstart will only emit an event nothing is listening for, so no jobs ever start19:58
stgraberno, because the change to grub sets "single" instead of "recovery" when friendly-recovery isn't installed19:59
stgraberso you'll boot in single boot and get dropped into a root shell19:59
slangasekand the grub config is forcibly regenerated when friendly-recovery is installed/removed?19:59
stgraberno, boot it definitely should, adding that to my list19:59
slangasekok19:59
stgrabercalling update-grub on postinst and postrm should do the trick20:00
slangasekI haven't reviewed the initramfs-tools patch yet (please give a direct pointer when you have that done), but with those two concerns taken care of and provided you've tested this both with and without friendly-recovery installed, for normal, recovery, and single-user modes, I'm satisfied that we should proceed20:00

skaetDaviey, 831496 - anything more about to land?20:21
astraljavaHello all, on behalf of ubuntustudio-devel, may I ask someone privileged to upload ubuntustudio-meta, please? We made some modifications on the seeds. Thanks!20:22
Davieyskaet: If i could work out how to add an empty task, yes :)20:23
slangasekScottK: the 'showfoto' binary is also unseeded from kubuntu-full?20:25
slangasek(or maybe that's the one you mean anyway - but just to clarify)20:25
ScottKslangasek: No.  Missed that one.  I'll fix it.  In the meantime, I'd  appreciate it if you'd go ahead and demote it.20:26

falktxmicahg: basically, because of the xfce change, lots of icons were not covered (xfce uses different names than gnome)20:52
micahgDaviey: ^^20:53
falktxmicahg: this new version deletes the old icons and now depends on elementary ones20:53
slangasekdoko: what's the actual impact of this bug?  It does seem to have taken a while to notice; are we getting broken packages output as a result, or is there just a random risk of the compiler segfaulting (on select archs / with select options)?20:53
Davieyfalktx: So this provides the same experience of Alpha 2?  A change in XFCE broke it recently?20:53
falktxmicahg: Daviey: the old ones were just bad, and arrange them for xfce would be just too much work20:54
slangasekdoko: or to put it another way: what's the damage if we hold the update until after beta2 is out, given that we are about to enter freeze?20:54
falktxDaviey: ubuntustudio used gnome, now it uses xfce20:54
DavieyAh.20:54
falktxDaviey: ^this change broke the icons, as xfce needs different ones20:54
stgraberslangasek: test in a VM looks good. recovery menu showed up with read-only filesystem, remount in read/write worked without starting any service, the various entries work and resuming does too20:54
falktxDaviey: the updated branch will remove all old icons except the branding, and make it dependant on elementary20:55
falktxDaviey: I hope it's clear enough...20:55
dokoslangasek, I don't know. it was noticed on mipsel-linux and kfreebsd-i386, but I don't see any reason why it should trigger on other archs20:56
Davieyfalktx: Out of interest, when did UbuntuStudio switch from gnome to xfce?20:56
falktxDaviey: earlier this cycle, just about alpha-2/320:56
dokoor should not20:58
slangasekdoko: what string is multiarch_len measuring?20:58
falktxDaviey: micahg: is it possible to update the package now?20:58
falktxor is it too late for beta-2?20:58

slangasekdoko: what surprises me about this is that I would also expect it to affect all architectures, and result in an immediate segfault... if we're not seeing massive compiler segfaults yet then the impact seems to be very specific to the memory layout of the build.  We should fix the overflow, but it doesn't seem urgent to fix before beta for the default compiler.  Do you disagree?21:00
DavieySpamapS: everyfink is subject to b2 freeze.21:01
DavieySpamapS: With this, i'd be happy with a fix 5 mins before B2 is announced. :)21:01
ScottKDaviey: Sort of.  Unseeded packages can still be uploaded, they just need a manual push from the release team.21:01
dokoslangasek, I do disagree. it's just luck that we are not hit21:01
SpamapSDaviey: graziano's patch appears to work21:02
DavieySpamapS: rocking!21:02
stgraberok, I guess I'm done with uploads for today, now to make sure nothing breaks and start poking at ubiquity bugs again ;)21:06
dokoskaet, didn't see any feedback, so I assume you are ok21:12
skaetdoko,  I'm reluctant to go forward with this since this is the first we're seeing it, and we're now in beta freeze.21:13
Davieydoko: On another note, Do you have another archive rebuild scheduled?21:13
dokoskaet, fine with this as well. just want to trade my arse for yours ;=P21:14
ScottKDaviey: First one isn't done yet (still going on armel)21:15
Davieystill 10 days?21:15
Daviey4 days \o/21:16
dokoDaviey, no, unless you can convince management to have any productive outcome on this21:16
dokoskaet, slangasek: any opinions? ^^^21:16
slangasekdoko: what do you mean by productive outcome?21:16
dokoslangasek, we had about ~800 uploads ater the test rebuild. Im fine if you do acknowledge that these uploads don't have any effect on the test rebuild21:18
SpamapSDaviey: ok with graziano's patch I get a normal Euca system.. should I upload it?21:19
slangasekdoko: sorry, I don't get it.  I'm sure that the 800 uploads will have had an effect - *hopefully* all positive, but maybe some negative, which would be the point of doing another test, I think?21:20
astraljavaHey guys, I created a new branch for our team (~ubuntustudio-dev), on which we depend on in the desktop seed. Do I need to file an FFe because of the new package?21:21
DavieySpamapS: Hell.. Yes..21:21
DavieySpamapS: I am overjoyed!21:21
SpamapSDaviey: as am I21:21
dokoslangasek, Daviey I'm fine to start another rebuild. including the rescoring for the last rebuild21:22
SpamapSDaviey: now we just need to strip out the "Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud" bits ;)21:22
dokoslangasek, if it's not needed, please just tell me21:22
DavieySpamapS: Ah, good point.  Being that it was in such a mess, that kinda got lost.  We should probably remove the UEC branding patch and images..21:23
Davieydoko: Server certainly cares about FTBFS's, it's a good entry point for our massive community. :)21:24
SpamapSDaviey: will open a bug for that, should be fine to upload that during beta.21:24
DavieySpamapS: Yeah, i don't think we need to still support the image-store, so should be quite easy to cut 'n shut.21:26

DavieyAnd now touched-it-last.. wow, you just signed up for so much pain.21:31
stgraberoops, that last fix didn't make it in time apparently (.links file being the wrong way around)21:34
* SpamapS goes to find food for lunch and some dried worms to garnish Daviey's lunches21:35
NCommanderdoko: building GCC is a 1.25 day event. so far our luck being holding pretty well, and I think I'd be much more confortable if the upload happened after we came out of B2 as that gives up a few weeks to fix anything that might break21:36
NCommanderon armel21:36
Daviey\o/21:36
dokoNCommander, that's fine. I could stage these in a PPA if demanded21:36
NCommanderdoko: that would be preferable, then we can simply binary copy them into archive if everything looks sane21:37
dokobut unortunately I don''t get any response :-/21:37
NCommander^- skaet, your opinion21:37
NCommanderdoko: ?21:37
Davieywait, we can now binary copy from PPA to archive?21:38
NCommanderDaviey: we've been able to do that for years from unvirtualized PPAs21:38
NCommanderthat's how the security team does their releases21:38
Davieyinteresting, i thought that was still wishlist.21:38
dokothe point is that you have to be trusted.21:39
* NCommander does believe there are SOME limitations on copying from virtualized PPAs :-/21:39
NCommanderanyway, I need to get something to eat, so I'll be back later21:41
skaetdoko, NCommander,  I'd like to explore the PPA approach a bit more.   What are the downsides?21:42
dokoskaet, what do you expect for a go or no-go?21:43
DavieyInteresting concept, The PPA could be called 'Ubuntu experimental' where developers stage uploads which are still alpha.21:46
=== Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk
skaetdoko,  I don't understand why we don't use the PPA option more often, so figure there must be some downsides.21:46
dokoskaet, why should we?21:47
skaetdoko, risk management for pervasive changes21:48
dokoskaet, so why don't we use for the kernel across architectures?21:49
dokos/use/use it/21:49
ScottKNon-canonical people aren't allow access to unvirtualized PPAs AIUI, so it'd be a Canonical only PPA.21:49
dokoto upload yes, to access no21:50
slangasekalso, it's more manual work to copy from a ppa instead of pushing straight to the archive21:50
slangasekso in most cases the extra effort probably outweighs any risk we're mitigating?21:51
skaetdoko, for the stable kernels are copied -proposed, and tested for 2 weeks before they go to -updates,  which is the same concept.21:52
dokoskaet, fine, but we are not talking aboout -updates21:52
slangasekNCommander: "fix up anything that might break" - this is literally a change to the size of a buffer being malloc()ed to contain the name of a path; there is no impact on code generation21:53
slangasekwhile I can see not wanting to risk having the build started during beta freeze and finish after milestone candidates are rolled with the result that libgcc and friends are out-of-date on the beta CD before we even get started, there's no reason for there to be anything than breaks and needs fixing21:54
ScottKAnd exactly right now would be the time to do it so that if there is a problem there's actually time to react.21:57
* skaet pondering hard21:58
skaetdoko,  how long will the builds take across all the architectures?21:58
dokoskaet, if I use my buildd admin powers on armel, about 36h22:00
dokos/use/misuse/22:00
slangasekthat implies building all of the different packages in parallel, yes?22:01
dokothis is for the default only.22:02
dokoI don't care when the non-defaults reach the archive22:02
skaetdoko, if we're going to do it, it all needs to be build and settled down before Sunday night, otherwise we run into the libgcc issue that slangasek points out.22:03
dokoskaet, please could you elaborate on the libgcc issue?22:04
slangasekdoko: libgcc out of date on the CD before we've even released the milestone22:04
slangasekit breaks jigdo, means everyone sees "updates available" at all points during the milestone testing22:05
slangasekwe ideally want to avoid that22:05
dokoslangasek, how will be a driver change affect libgcc?22:05
slangasekdoko: it's not that it breaks anything, it's just that we want milestone CDs to contain up-to-date packages22:06
slangasekdoko, skaet: but it sounds like the conclusion is that we want gcc-4.6 uploaded to the freeze queue ASAP; and as long as "ASAP" is before end of day tomorrow, and the armel buildds are in good shape with no backlog, we can accept this and get it built easily by that deadline22:07
skaetslangasek,  yes,  I think that's where we're ending up.22:08
slangasekand if the upload and accept happen today, that even buys us enough time for a *second* armel build if the buildd gets 95% done and then falls over ;P22:08
skaetShould I assume we're also also doing the gcj, gnat, gdk at the same time? Or do we want to start them now.22:09
dokofinally, thanks! I'll do this the first thing tomorrow morning22:09
dokoskaet, I'd like to delay these over the weekend, when the buildd loads are ower22:10
dokos/ower/lower/22:10
skaetdoko,  ok.22:10
skaetdoko,  for the 4.4 we wait until after beta2 is out.22:11
skaet?22:11
slangasekmaybe do 4.4 opportunistically if it's clear that there are spare buildds and it won't impact the milestone?22:11
dokoskaet, thanks, so to summarize: I'l upload gcc-4.6 tomorrow morning, and anything else when I think the load doesn't effect any other builds?22:11
slangasekand it doesn't impact the CDs anyway, so if we have to kill a 4.4 build to free up a buildd it's not the end of the world22:12
slangasekdoko: hard freeze, so you can certainly *upload* the others whenever you like22:12
dokoI'm fine to have any other build killed besides gcc-4.622:12
skaetdoko,  do a cross check before uploading the other pieces, as we may have something in planning about to hit, but yes.22:12
slangasekskaet: uploading doesn't hurt us, release team still has to accept the upload by hand... :)22:13
skaetslangasek, yeah just realized that after I typed it. :)22:13
dokoskaet, sorry, didn't understand the cross remark22:13
skaetdoko,  no matter,  slangasek correctly points out, release team will need to let them in to start building.  We're hard frozen.22:14
skaetand based on what you're saying, as long as gcc 4.6 is built, others can be killed off at need.22:16
dokothanks for confirming.22:17
dokojust want to use the idle time on weekends22:17
* skaet nods22:17
* skaet is worried about the arm builds though, and not sure how much idle time there will be. 22:18
dokoskaet, slangasek , we do have 17 armel buildds. so he buildds will pick up main builds with the first priority. it's the abolute build time which matters. and even then,  a fix in the driver doesn't change anything in code generation.22:24
skaetdoko,  thanks for explanation.  Problem is that the arm buildds are broken right now, and we still don't have all the pieces for some of the images built.  Ncommander's trying to get it sorted.22:26
dokoskaet, sorry, didn't know. care to send a pointer?22:27
skaetdoko, pointer in pm.22:30
infinitydoko / skaet : The ARM buildd issue is with image builders, not package buildds.  Using build time on the package buildds shouldn't be a big deal, as long as it's done sanely.23:01
skaetinifinity,  thanks for explanation.23:02
